Good morning, I am a cave man when it comes to all things computer so please bear with this simple question. Opened up T-bird e-mail and got a message that the monthly releases are not considered to be stable for general use and to download the latest stable version of T-Bird as it looks like something new was released in the last week? Would it be as simple as downloading the latest version/update? Will it be safe to do this or alter anything else on my computer besides going from the beta version to the latest stable version? Sorry for the trouble, but a little anxious downloading something that I'm not sure of. Thanks very much for the help.

Tony

Hi Tony,

Where did you install Thunderbird from?

It appears you're on the "Release" channel which is currently for testing purposes only. It will eventually provide supported monthly releases. You most likely want to be on the ESR channel which is a supported stable channel.

You can find the Update Channel that you're on at Help->Troubleshooting Information.
